Ch 14 403-417

The mughal empire was the most popular empire of the Mughals in India. The europeans had an advantage, they lived closer to the ports, there advantages were that they had gun powder and were able to ride horses. not only did the europeans discover the americas but so did Asia. Some of the incentives that the europeans had was gold which was money, glory and god, god wasnt something they could trade but could rationalize the meaning of god. Many died due to disease, that is why during the slave trade europeans did not get off the boats. they were not imuned to the diseases that were around. But many were happy that people died at early ages (40-50) becasue it created more room for the europeans. Why did the disease kill so many people? like i said before they did not have an immuntiy to the diseases that were killing the natives. the europeans were exposed to animals which helped support the immuntiy. The Sibereans were like the native americans, they were similar becasue of there genetics and the storys about there upbringing were similar. They also were all converted to christianity. The central division within Mughal was religious, they focused on Muslims and Hindus. more then 20% of the population were islamic and the rest practiced some sort of hinduism.
